Nuits-Saint-Georges Au Chouillet Vieilles Vignes 2019

Burgundy International - Red
About the Session

Session 3 is devoted to red Burgundy, drawing together some of the finest terroirs of the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune. Grower estates such as Armand Rousseau, Denis Mortet, Denis Bachelet, Georges Lignier and Ghislaine Barthod anchor a run of grand and premier cru Gevrey-Chambertin, Chambolle-Musigny, Morey-Saint-Denis and Vosne-Romanée, while a extraordinary group of lots from Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, including Échézeaux, Grands Échézeaux, Richebourg, La Tâche and Romanée-Saint-Vivant, forms the session's centrepiece. Rounded out by classic bottlings from Volnay, Pommard and Nuits-Saint-Georges, plus a scattering of Beaujolais crus, this session offers exceptional depth for Pinot Noir collectors.

About this Item

Nuits-Saint-Georges Au Chouillet Vieilles Vignes 2019
6 (1 x 6) 750ml
Domaine Lécheneaut, founded in Nuits-Saint-Georges in the 1950s and run since 1985 by brothers Philippe and Vincent, is prized for elegantly oaked, terroir-driven reds made only from its own vines across the Côte de Nuits. Au Chouillet is a Nuits lieu-dit on the northern, Vosne side of the village, here from old vines. 2019 was a superb, low-yielding Côte de Nuits vintage marrying ripe fruit with bright acidity and fine structure. Julia Harding MW from JancisRobinson.com gave it 16.5+ out of 20.

Provenance

The late David Brice was a respected wine connoisseur, collector and co-founder of Brice and Burnett – The Fine Wine Specialists (formerly Wine Cellar). His lifelong passion for wine from all corners of the world wine, and generosity, helped develop a culture of fine wine in South Africa and beyond. Always with value and authenticity in mind, the collection spans a wide range of styles from leading producers and diverse regions. The wines were professionally imported under refrigeration and carefully stored at Brice and Burnett (formerly Wine Cellar) thereafter. Many of the producers are not available in South Africa and provide an excellent buying opportunity.

For more detailed information on the lots, please feel free to contact Roland Peens (roland@briceandburnett.co.za). Roland spent many years sharing and enjoying these wines with David Brice and is happy to provide further insight into the collection.

Critics Ratings

"Ripe black fruit, peppery damsons but not especially sweet. Rich and generous black fruit on the palate. Firm but smooth tannins. Firmly structured. Chewy but balanced by all that lovely dark fruit. Needs time." - Julia Harding MW, JancisRobinson.com, 16.5+/20 (Nov 2020)
